I don't know why my parents named me 'Yuji' and I won't ever get to ask, but... Couldn't you ask him? Maybe you're right, or maybe there is a deeper meaning to it.
Who knows ... [ Whether or not he'll get to having that conversation with his father is up in the air. Fushiguros are constipated with their words and it goes double when they are together. The fact that he's actually sharing his inner feelings with someone at all is only because he has so much trust in this boy. ]
'Yuji' ... suits you, though. [ The meaning of it. ]
Everything I said to you before you died that first time ... I haven't changed my mind about it.
[ That the other boy was kind, just like his namesake. That he doesn't think a kind person deserves to die, and that's why he saved him. That he doesn't regret saving him, even with all their shared sins, and he doesn't think there will ever be a time he will come to regret it. Yes, it might make him a hypocrite, but the values this boy he's talking to - the one he can now call 'Yuji' - more than any made up rules and self-imposed morality.
He doesn't know why he's thinking about all this now. Perhaps he's feeling sentimental from how they had acknowledged their closeness to each other today, - something that rarely gets acknowledged outright. He had a feeling they were close before, but Megumi is a person who has spent most of his life imposing distance between himself an others. Someone who doesn't naturally assume that others regard or care about him. That's why it often needs to be explicit before he can believe it. It's nice to have a best friend.
[ Yuji is quiet for a while. It's hard for him, knowing that he's messed up as badly as he has, that he's done something that cannot be undone. Some kind of Vow, a promise, made with Sukuna, that is going to have some kind of colossal consequence. He has no idea what that will be, but...
Eventually, he claps his hands together and sits up, nodding to himself. ]
And I meant what I said too! I'm gonna save you, Megumi!
